You think that's bad : stories
Culling the vastness of experience--from its bizarre fringes and breathtaking pinnacles to the desperately below average--like an expert curator, Jim Shepard populates this collection wildly diverse and wholly fascinating characters, like the inventor of the Godzilla epics to a miserable G.I. in New Guinea, each complicit in his or her downfall.

Better Living Through TV: The Honeymooners
The room was down the end of the hall opposite my parents' bedroom, and when I was a toddler it served as the spare room that held my mother's sewing machine. Having grown up in the Depression with an unapproachable father and a solicitous but fearful mother, both of whom warned him regularly that they were all about to lose their house and end up out on the street, in the Second World War he'd honed his capacity for anxiety by flying ground attack missions in Burma and then cargo over the Himalayas when the attrition rate on those latter missions was around twenty percent. [...]you get the idea. In terms of the latter, and our mostly grateful sense of the show's wondrous and unexpected emotional authenticity, we were responding of course to its neorealist touches: the way, for example, Jackie Gleason had seen to it that his character's apartment matched the tenement in which he'd grown up, or the way Ed Norton's trademark hat had come from Art Carney's own wardrobe, and the comic business of his maddeningly elaborate hand movements before any activity he'd copied from his father.
